How We Survived in UHF Television

This personal narrative is co-authored by two of the best-known names in American UHF television broadcast management: Kathryn &quote;Kitty&quote; Broman Putnam and William Lowell &quote;Bill&quote; Putnam. During the first two decades of Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) television, when the established VHF (Very-High Frequency) stations dominated the TV marketplace, the Putnams built and operated three successful UHF outlets: WWLP-TV in Springfield, Massachusetts; WKEF-TV in Dayton, Ohio; and KSTU-TV in Salt Lake City, Utah. Kitty and Bill recall how they labored for survival during the &quote;dozen lean years&quote; between 1952 and 1964, and the events along their way to leadership in the world of advertiser-supported analog television. Included are several original poems written by Bill, and tantalizing recipes created for Kitty's long-running local cooking show.
